SUN PRAIRIE, Wis., Feb. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pro-Active Engineering is beginning the first quarter of 2021 with a significant capital investment in equipment. Vice President, Paul Schwanbeck projects that the addition of two Mycronic DX100 high-speed pick 'n place machines will increase capacity by up to 40%. He goes on to explain "the two machines have been configured in a synergy line and are capable of placing up to 80 thousand parts per hour."

Building Expansion Plans

A five-year outlook plan for the Sun Prairie electronics company includes an extensive building remodel. Schwanbeck explains, "the redefined space will more than double the manufacturing footprint." The initial blueprint showcases a defined space for a growing engineering team, which now offers contracting services in rapid prototyping, 3D printing, mechanical design, PCB design/layout, electrical, mechanical, and software engineering. The design also incorporates additional conference rooms, upgraded employee break areas, and a new lunchroom.

New Hires Meet Electronics Industry Demand

Pro-Active has hired 10 new employees in the last two months. Human Resources Manager, Rachel Fuerstenberg, notes they expect to add an additional 10 to 20 employees in 2021.
